April 9-13, 2018, is designated National Cancer Registrars Week. The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) is pleased to recognize its cancer registrar members and the important, increasingly sophisticated role that the profession plays to advance cancer prevention, research, and treatment both locally and nationally.
From ensuring data accuracy to providing meaningful information to advance care, these oncology data information specialists continue to support the delivery of quality care in an era focused on data and reporting.
In honor of National Cancer Registrars Week, ACCC is pleased to spotlight some recent contributions from ACCC-member registrars:

Decentralized clinical trial approaches, including remote consent, telehealth, local laboratory and imaging services, and more, can help reduce some of the many barriers that prevent eligible patients from participating in trials. But as the participants in ACCC’s Advancing Decentralized Clinical Trials in the Community Setting Roundtable Series emphasized, implementing DCT elements is not simply a matter of adopting new technology. Doing so successfully requires thoughtful workflows and oversight structures that consider equity, scalability, and sustainability.
